OH athlete agent bonds.
$150 flat.
Ohio gives an athlete agent the option to satisfy its registration security with a $15,000 surety bond under ORC Chapter 4771, in favor of the state for anyone injured by a violation of the athlete agent law. Ours is $150 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An athlete agent recruits and represents athletes for professional-sports contracts and endorsements. Ohio regulates athlete agents under ORC Chapter 4771 (administered by the Ohio Athletic Commission), and conditions registration on a financial security — one accepted form is a $15,000 surety bond.
The bond runs in favor of the State of Ohio, for the benefit of any person who is injured by a violation of Chapter 4771 or the rules under it — including athletes, educational institutions, and others harmed by improper recruiting or contracting conduct.
The statute lets you satisfy the requirement other ways too — a certificate of deposit or assigned savings account in the same amount, or professional malpractice insurance of at least $50,000. The bond is usually the cheapest path, since you pay a flat $150 premium rather than locking up $15,000 in cash. You must maintain the security or the Commission suspends your registration.
